Leafing through the existing literature reflects that the possible relationship between ER, CT, and immunity has not been brought to the foreground of research foci (Gross and Thompson, 2007 ; Burić et al, 2017 ; Rahimpour et al, 2020 ; Sadeghi et al, 2020 ; Li, 2022 ), particularly in higher education (Fathi and Derakhshan, 2019 ; Chang, 2020 ; Chang and Taxer, 2020 ; Heydarnejad et al, 2021a ; Amirian et al, 2022 ).
